28 Days Later also used one of the first digital-only production cameras Sony put out at the time. It’s something the director does and it’s kinda neat. This is why there’s no real high quality versions of 28 Days, but it’s also kinda why it has more charm.
I tried to watch it again recently and it looks like absolute trash. I appreciate directors being experimental but at least with old analog formats they scale pretty well with modern resolutions.
I enjoyed rewatching both first and second films recently and I think they hold up pretty well on my 4K TV. What specifically made them look like absolute trash to you?
The first was filmed with extremely low resolution, so it looks like it was filmed in extremely low resolution
I personally appreciate the aesthetic of the original. To each their own I guess 😊
I'm with you on that. Gives a rawness and out of sorts kind of feeling that Jim would have been experiencing.
But it's one of my favourite movies, so I'm biased. It's up there with Train to Busan for zombie-flicks for me.
Put some respect on the name: Danny freakin’ Boyle.
I read the article, and I understand their reasoning. But I hate movies that to that shaky camera effect. I don't want be there or feel I watching it from someone phone or hand camcorder. Sucks was looking forward to seeing this. But don't see it worth wasting my money and time in a theater to do so. Glad for article to warn me of the quality I am going get.
Did the article say it was shaky? Even if they didn't use the iPhone image stabilization, surely they could adjust it in post-production so it looks good.
